Overall safety score

“Go with care. Oakwood is a quiet, historically working-class residential neighborhood just east of downtown Greensboro that is generally peaceful during the day. While violent crime rates in the immediate residential blocks are relatively modest, property theft and opportunistic crime along adjacent commercial corridors like Summit Avenue warrant basic vigilance.”

Oakwood is a compact, tree-lined residential enclave in east-central Greensboro featuring modest mid-century cottages and craftsman bungalows. Located minutes from downtown and university campuses, it offers a quiet neighborhood vibe bordered by busier thoroughfares.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
